Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in El Cerritos, San Diego, CA

“Second time's the charm. I really appreciate Brenda's willingness to come out and sit our cats once again. She's very responsible, always sends photos after each appointment, and made sure to inform us any time she changed the water or had to make another purchase fir the cats midway through the period. Will definitely consider her again next time I'm out if town.”

About: I have 10 plus years experience with dogs, I have 2 fur babies who always bring me joy. I have loved animals from a very young age and treat them with love, kindness and respect. With my own 2 pups I cook, clean, play, get them to their vet appointments, clean their teeth, make sure they are groomed regularly. I treat my fur babies like they are literally my children, this is the same treatment your fur babies will get from me. I am available Monday - Friday from 4pm - 8pm and weekends upon requests. Would love the opportunity to work together and build a relationship. I currently am only offering either dog walks or drop in visits. I am not able to care for pets in my home, although that can change in the future.

“Thank you for taking care of my baby girl!!”

“Olivia did such a great job dropping in on my cat during a recent trip. We met up in advance and my cat immediately took a liking to her. She is very warm and I felt very comfortable having her come into my home. I look forward to having Olivia back again soon.”

“Nat walks my two dachshunds while I’m working long shifts at the hospital. She is responsible, trust-worthy and has great communication. She understands the needs/wants of my pups with opposite personalities and I appreciate that so much. You can tell she truly loves dogs. My pups took right to her and get very excited for their walks with her. I also love and appreciate all the photo updates she sends. Would totally recommend. Thanks Nat!”

“Yay!!! Thank you Yesenia! It’s great to see that Busby(tabby) even came out from hiding in the bedroom to eat!”

“Kaelyn did a great job with our two cats! She gave them wet food and dry food, filled their water, kept both litter boxes clean, and spent time playing with them and giving them affection. Kaelyn also was able to accommodate special requests and made sure to lock the house up tight. If we need to use Rover again we will likely go with Kaelyn!”

About: I have years of experience with pets, both in my personal life and at my hometown animal shelter as a dog walker and “kitty cuddler.” There, I specialized in walking the largest and most challenging dogs, whether they were shy, nervous, or reactive, and I learned how patience and calm energy can build trust with even the toughest pups. Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with german shepherds, which gave me a special love for big dogs and the confidence to handle strong or energetic breeds. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, and even horses while living on a farm — so no animal is too big or too small! I’m comfortable with everything from puppies to seniors pets who need a little extra patience and gentleness. What sets me apart is not only my experience but my genuine love and respect for every animal’s unique personality. I treat each pet as if they were my own, and I pride myself on being reliable, compassionate, and attentive to their needs. Whether your dog loves long adventurous walks or your cat just needs extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I am a student and barista so my schedule changes daily. Unfortunately Rover’s schedule settings didn’t allow for super specific times so here is a more in depth look: - Weekdays I am mostly available in the morning - Wednesdays I am consistently available after 5pm * Friday’s I am consistently available throughout the day!! I think of my own pets as my babies, so I will treat yours the same. It is the highest honor to be trusted with a member of your family, and your pets’ safety and well being is my number one priority!

“Dee is the best and always takes such great care of my cat. Aside from this, she’s very generous and always goes out of her way to make my cat happy. We appreciate her so much and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“This is our second time booking with Michael. He took very good care again of our three kitties. Home was clean and despite not asking him to he washed the pet dishes for us so that was nice. Thanks, Michael.”

About: Hi! I'm Natalie and I'm looking forward to possibly getting to know you and your fur babies! A little about myself: I'm very detail oriented and caring, meaning that your pets will be watched carefully and respectfully. I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have three of my own. I'm open and communicative so I'm willing to connect with you. I currently study journalism and communications in college and I hope to connect with you soon! :) I'm currently in school and have a pretty free schedule. I also tend to not go home for breaks, meaning that I'll be staying in the San Diego area and will be completely free during those times. I will make sure to follow rules that the pet is familiar with (for example: no jumping on couches; going outside for bathroom breaks, etc.) and that if the owner is currently training the pet, I will help with that as well.

About: I have experience with all types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, small mammals, snakes, and fish. Animals have always been apart of my life, and I make sure when they are under my care that their health and happiness is my priority. I follow directions very well, can feed, give oral medications, groom, train and I understand behavior and signs of what your animal is feeling. I am a full time college student, as well as working a part time job. I only have one in person class, and my work times vary, but there’s always time to fit in a walk, hello, or food time. Fenced in yard, on a canyon. I have a large dog who is super friendly though he is in tact. For the dogs that have stayed at my house, there has never been a problem. I also have a cat, who is okay around dogs as long as they give her space. I will always send photos and updates.

“Thank you so much! Lily is always amazing and the pups love her. Always 100% care and attention.”

Scott W.

“Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I have always known my love for animals would lead to a career I would love. My neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, lizards, snakes, and hamsters. I currently have no other responsibilities taking up my schedule, so I have as much time as needed to care for your pets! I'm free to do overnight care any day. I want to keep Tuesdays free, but I am flexible. After introducing myself to your pet, I will let them get to know me and play with them a bit. Considering the owner's expectations, I will ensure the pet is comfortable and ready for the set-out plan: food and water, any medications, brushing, any cleanup necessary, walks, and, of course, playtime! I update the owner and send pictures of their happy pets.

About: Hi! I'm a recent college grad working from home, and while I can’t have a dog of my own right now, I’d love to give yours all the attention, care, and playtime they deserve! I have a flexible schedule, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like—whether it's playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I genuinely love dogs and would be thrilled to help care for yours like they're part of the family. Work from home so I have flexibility in my schedule however, I do travel occasionally for work. Happy work out what works best for your pup! Full of respect for your dog and your space! Always happy to leave it as I came! Will be very mindful and clean as can be.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter! I’ve taken care of my dogs growing up and now clients on Rover who have relied on me to feed, walk, and clean up after them, along with their household needs while they’re away. I pride myself on making sure your home is cleaner than when you left, and your pet is happy, healthy, and safe. My work schedule is only a couple hours each week, so because of my light schedule I will get to spend plenty of time with your pet. I have lots of time to give them the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need to thrive. In your home we will care for your pet with upmost care and attention. If you'd like me to stay in your home I will water any plants, get the mail, maintain a clean home, ensure the security of your home, and anything else to make you feel more comfortable leaving the house for your trip! In my home I have no kids or other pets so we have a very clean and calm environment. We have found that pets adjust rather quickly in this environment which fosters feelings of safety and serenity.
